"These two arborists were extremely careful and selective in what they cut, the angle, the relationship to the house, to the shape of the tree. They did NOT hurry. I felt they were diligent in their care. I would hire again!"

"I had a pine tree that had large branches were growing over my shed and reaching over the edge of the roof of my house. There were times in the past, when the ice covering the branches, that the branches rested upon the power lines. There were two vertical trunks that were twisted upon each other. All of these branches and trunks were removed without harm to my facility and did not hit the power lines. The tree was completely removed and hauled away. Before they left, the clean up the area. Very professional"

"Matt and his company did through and quality work. We couldn't have been happier with the end result. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the work that was done. We had several bids and he was 1/3 of the cost the others were. But more importantly he stood behind the work he did and was a man of his word which is so hard to find. If you're struggling to find someone who is reliable and does quality work look no further. You won't be dissappointed"

"I can highly recommend J Plus Construction after the excellent work they did in transforming my wildly overgrown grass into a beautifully trimmed lawn surrounding my house. Two men worked tirelessly for approximately two hours and did everything I needed to be done with care and attention to my requests. I highly recommend this company."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

Peach trees don’t tend to live as long as other types of trees and crops. They tend to last only about 12 years, and you shouldn’t expect to see a full peach harvest each of those years, either. Young peach trees need a few years to get established before they produce fruit, but you should have plenty of peaches for your pies and cobblers during their mature years, around years four through eight.

Yes, cutting a tree's roots can cause it to fall, particularly if major support roots are severed. In extreme cases, trimming roots can affect the tree's structure and stability. Many crucial roots are located just below the soil's surface. If you make severe cuts to roots more than 2 inches in diameter, you risk impacting the tree's water flow and its ability to withstand severe winds or storms. Even cutting roots less than half an inch in diameter under or outside the tree's canopy can cut off its water supply, causing it to decline, die, and eventually topple.

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.

You can start your search for a reputable arborist online by looking for professionals who hold the proper licensing and are fully insured. Next, read through some online reviews to see what kind of service the expert brings to the table, and confirm that they don’t have a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, you can ask the professional for a list of references and then call them to ask questions about the service, professionalism, value, and more that the expert brings to the table.
